That song ["Don't Tell Me"] didn't take us anywhere, and I know why now. It wasn't what Van Halen fans wanted. It showed the darkness of Van Halen, and basically the end of the band.

When I did red, it was nine, and that was it for me. I said, "Here I am - nine is my number and red is my color, and I'm in business now."

Write me up for 125, poster my face wanted dead or alive. Take my license all that jive, I can't drive 55.

I just have a vision of something, and it seems to go a long way. One thought goes a long way.

"Rock Candy" was my first record. I had never been in a studio, so I was in shock and I had no idea if it was great or if it stunk. I was just putting in my heart and soul, and closing my eyes and keeping my fingers crossed. I gave it everything.

Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.

I don't want to try to force anything, because I'm really happy with Chickenfoot; my new record with them is phenomenal.
